Management Consultant at Accenture

Has significantly improved document-driven workflows and reduced processing time across finance and HR functions

Automation Anywhere has evolved significantly and upgraded itself to provide agentic AI and AI-based automation solutions for document automation. The product has matured considerably over time. We can create workflows that can call an API. We can include prompts in particular workflows for ChatGPT-related functions, connecting to an LLM and RAG to perform tasks. For document automation, modern features are available to train documents, ensuring high accuracy and repeatability over time. The system is very easy to use. I recently completed a course in document automation, typically designed for people involved in coding and technical aspects. Though I understand coding comprehensively, I don't do actual coding. The course was very accessible. Currently, extensive coding isn't necessary due to the hybrid model incorporating GenAI aspects, low-code, no-code capabilities, APIs, and numerous pre-built objects in Automation Anywhere. The features include GenAI-driven prompting methods and workflow creation capabilities. In these workflows, we can create decision boxes and call APIs without coding. We simply pull objects, drop them, connect them, and add minimal coding when needed. The most crucial aspect isn't coding but rather sizing the automation and fleshing out the details. Automation Co-pilot takes notes and performs automated analysis. It can extract details from videos, summarize conversations, and provide detailed information. During calls, it identifies instructions and performs tasks such as preparing reports and reconciliation. Automation Anywhere can also connect with Microsoft Co-pilot. Through Co-pilot, real-time operations can be executed, allowing direct interaction between vendors and automation through this component.

Enterprise Solutions & Services Head at Duroob Technology

A fairly stable solution that’s highly mature, but has a poor user interface

The solution does not align as modern service solutions do. Seamless integration is no available among the processes. Their service management application needs a lot of work. It’s in a really bad state right now. They brought on a new interface that clumped all the processes and features of the solution into one. Still, it’s not really compatible with other solutions. Because of this, its rating has dropped in Gardner. The solution needs to improve its reporting features. The user interface needs a lot of improvements. The product needs to implement a cloud platform solution, which is lacking so far. Their workflow engine is still segregated. It’s not embedded. If you need to do some workflow approvals, you cannot do them directly on the service desk. You have to go into Outlook and do an approval or you have to go in through another screen to handle the approval because the workflow engine they have is a separate product.

Structured workflows have improved SLA compliance and now support prioritized incident handling

I think the licensing and pricing of ServiceNow is quite expensive compared to other tools. For large organizations, it is acceptable, but specifically for small and medium organizations to track incidents or change requests, ServiceNow is quite expensive. Sometimes performance can be slow when workflows and integrations are configured for complex tasks. For advanced customizations or advanced features which we rarely use, the documentation is not up to standard. The documentation needs to be improved for advanced customization features. However, the platform is stable overall and the features are quite good. The user experience and performance concerns I mentioned are areas I want to be improved. When many workflows and interactions are configured, performance is slow. For the features it is providing, it is quite expensive. If these performance features are improved, we can easily pay that price and get the return on investment.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:

Pros

"What I like about Automation Anywhere is the object cloning and the way you can move the mouse and either go to a particular point or go to an element. That's very easy and intuitive in Automation Anywhere... If I need to mimic a human behavior, I will use Automation Anywhere."

"The platform itself is intuitive and easy to use. I have even mentioned to people who aren't developers or very computer savvy that they could pick up Automation Anywhere and just get started."

"Since it can be utilized 24/7, the ROI is pretty high with minimal efforts and resources by using unattended automation."

"IQ Bot is very helpful as it is easy to learn and implement and the data output accuracy is almost 90%."

"We've saved a lot of time. How much time we save depends on the process. It's likely at least 50%. Sometimes, it's up to 70%."

"Automation Anywhere has equipped us with amazing tools including Bot Insight, IQ Bot, Discovery Bot, etc."

"There were about three to four people who were manually updating data into a system, then we replaced that process or augmented that with a bot that now reaches data and enters it on behalf of users, which gives significant hours back to the business so those people can work on some other high value task."

"The core RPA capability is valuable."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"The most valuable features for me are scalable architecture, customization potential where the UI, background, and data movement allow you to tailor to the nitty gritty details of what you might need in your environment, and advanced workflow management."

"The solution is a highly mature product, and because of this, it can stand up to any other product on the market."

"It's quite a complete entry into the SaaS ITSM market with a reasonable price point."

"This is the best product for Large Infrastructure companies/organizations to monitor their infrastructures/servers etc."

"It provides us with a very easy and flexible UI for CA Nimsoft Service Desk 7."

"Improved the effectiveness of my Service Desk Team and improved the SLA timing."

"The ability to add Additional Information Screens on the fly."

"Essential service management solution all in one, like 100- for service request, 200- for change request, 300- for incidents, 400- for problems."

More Serviceaide ChangeGear pros

"We could have chosen many different platforms but for lack of a better word, it was the easiest to be able to move to, taking all of our existing processes and data from different sources."

"I like the solution very much."

"One of the nice things about ServiceNow is that, if you have your process, you can design the ticket and the form according to your process."

"I think realistically, it helped us better our processes."

"ServiceNow is faster, easier to use, and configure."

"Improved the globalization of processes and around the clock service delivery to our customers Automated repetitive tasks and shifted left simple tasks to the service desk"

"We are quite satisfied with the tool."

"The most valuable features are its ease of use and capabilities."

More ServiceNow pros

Cons

"We want it to work with more APIs. It needs to integrate with multiple APIs. That would be something that I would like going forward."

"Apart from the Chrome issue, which took them maybe a week to fix, we lost a lot of processes during that time, but it just happens unfortunately."

"The initial setup was not that great. The road was very up and down. We struggled. A lot of the features were not compatible with applications which we are using. That was the reason. This was the initial days, we are talking about 2016 to 2017. The buzz was not as much as we are having now."

"The UI can be improved a little bit to make it easier for beginners to understand."

"We will be running error handling for 8,000 process and the system will fail."

"I used document automation about two years ago, however, it did not work as expected at that time, providing results around 70% to 80%. After that, we turned to third-party tools."

"There is still a way to go for Automation Anywhere where we can see improvement. Mostly, we want to see more artificial intelligence and machine learning. Now, I can see only this mostly in the IQ Bot where we construct the data from PDFs. I also want to see more features where we can use the artificial intelligence in automating tasks as well."

"The implementation process is complex, as there is integration with other applications."

More Automation Anywhere cons

"Flexibility to customize."

"We have been seeing a little bit of latency here and there, but we haven't been able to identify it."

"I think they could update some of the interface. It doesn't look as pretty as some of the other ones."

"The solution needs to improve its reporting features. The user interface needs a lot of improvements."

"Their service management application needs a lot of work."

"I would love to see better two-factor authentication as that would really help us and make a big difference."

"We had a lot of issues with non-Windows servers during implementation."

"It loses points because it’s not GUI enough, too code-y."

More Serviceaide ChangeGear cons

"They need to be providing vendors and implementation partners with materials and guidance on implementation."

"The solution could improve by making the CMDB integrate with a CI better to allow it to be seen across multiple platforms."

"We do a lot of relatively advanced stuff for the size that we are, but ServiceNow itself is so big and to some extent, there is a significant amount of complexity that you have, a big learning curve I would say, in order to really get on board."

"I don't know where that's going to end because at some point ServiceNow will become a marlock and people will turn away from a 'one solution fits all' and go more into the niches again."

"I'd like to have an offline mode. For us, we do a lot of workforce management."

"Sometimes it could be better and faster."

"I don't think it's very secure, and it's web-based, and Remedy is really the standard that it's judged against."

"Time to respond from support could definitely be better, as the global support timing sometimes causes delays in interactions."

More ServiceNow cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We're just starting to renew our license, and we were quoted $115,000 without the IQ Bot. The IQ Bot is another $30,000. This is with very limited pages, as we go through our first projects. The majority of the cost was for ten days of onsite training."

"It's very good in terms of cost and pricing."

"The solution's pricing is pretty decent."

"The Community Edition is a good offering from the company."

"As far as costs, it depends on your use. We started with a basic department pack, which is over 10K. The additional costs depend on the scale of the engagement and how it pans out. We customize to our needs on the go."

"It's a bit expensive compared to other RPA tools on the market."

"The licensing cost for Automation Anywhere is high."

"The pricing model can be a bit more flexible."

Information not available

"Some time ago it was expensive, but large companies have special contracts. It's enterprise prices, and we're talking about millions per year."

"For the modules we use, we found it competitive. I can't think of any costs in addition to the licensing fees."

"The CapEx version is great."

"The price is okay for us. It's reasonable."

"I rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten. The pricing for ServiceNow is based on a SaaS platform with annual contracts. However, it may not offer much flexibility for adjusting usage in the short term."

"Isn't pricing always too much? We really do chafe at the ITIL licensing. ITOM is also pretty expensive."

"The cost is quite high."

"ServiceNow is a leader and its pricing is quite good, quite competitive... Sometimes some plugins are not priced reasonably but, generally, the platform itself, its modules, are priced reasonably."
